1 There are Two Types of Organizations: A Behavior-Based Organization Commitment-Based Organization PGC is a Commitment-Based Organization.

2 What is the difference between the two types of organizations?

3 In a Behavior-Based Organization: Staff relate to each other by their behaviors. When a staff member demonstrates a behavior that is consistently below expectations, others write them off (i.e. Sally never helps anyone out with anything). Writing someone off leads to an erosion of trust in the relationship.

4 In a Commitment-Based Organization: Staff relate to each other by the commitments they create for themselves. When a staff member has a consistent behavior that is below expectations, others provide coaching and support. Coaching each other leads to increased trust in the relationship.

5 Commitment Statements: While goals are based on what you desire to achieve, commitment statements are based on who you need to be in order to be successful in your position. At PGC, every full-time staff member, Director, Lead Instructor, Instructor, and Volunteer creates his or her own personalized commitment statement.

6 Commitment Statements: Commitment statements are shared daily at PGC sessions and are the foundation for how we relate to one another. Prior to your first session, write a brief commitment statement and be prepared to share it with your PGC team.

7 Building a Commitment Statement: Use our core values and your job description to assist you in building your commitment statement. Our core values are outlined in the staff handbook. Remember to focus your commitment statement on who you re going to be and not what you re going to do.

8 Building a Commitment Statement: Effective commitment statements include who you re stretching and growing into. Use I am statements, even for areas that you are stretching into. A player desiring to be a deadly shooter will experience greater results by saying I am a deadly shooter than by saying I hope to be a deadly shooter or I will become a deadly shooter.

9 Building a Commitment Statement: In your commitment statement, let others know what they can count on you for (i.e. Others can count on me to be ) Be holistic in your approach. You can include statements related to your personal wellbeing, your off-season training or exercise, or any other realm you deem important.
